Review on Powerful Industrial Grounding Straight Receptacles Receptacle – Uncompromised Safety and Performance by Jack Herrera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High Quality NEMA 14-50 Electric Vehicle Plug

After spending over $50,000 on your Tesla, don't trust your home and car in a cheap Home Depot NEMA 14-50 plug. The problem with cheaper outlets is that the cable attachment isn't as secure and the connectors don't fully mate with the entire plug. This means that cheaper outlets are subject to wear and tear as you plug and unplug them, as well as fire and melting of parts due to the stress of a full charge. Do yourself a huge favor and protect your car and home with this Tesla-approved, industrial-grade outlet. I connected 6 AWG wire. I only unplug it when I need a travel charger, about a month or two. But it is very convenient to disconnect and connect the charger. Tip: The outlet size is larger than the cheap ones, so you cover the outlet with a large opening. Look for a Hubbell SS701 or other with a 2 31/64 inch bore.

Pros
  • Electrical
Cons
  • Very Expensive
